PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION or THE PROS
pEmrY AND GROWTH OF rag GREAT
"gEw SOUTH - ENTERPRISE or
MEssRs. POWERS, TAYLOR 60.
This well.known and reliable firm, ap-
prciating the needs and demands 60
the times and ever ready 70 cater TO the
wants Of their trade. have inst opened .
Druggists Sundries Department. which,
in point of assortment and complete
ness of stock (as well as reasonableness
of prices), is second to none IN the
Unite d States. As manager OF this ncD
feature 20 their already large business
they have secured the services OF Mr.
Samuel Begester, fayorably and we'll
known 10 the southern. trade as lately
representing Messrs. Parkc, DAVIS q
Co. Detroit and New York.
MIR. Taylor and Mr.. REGISTER have
lust returned from two-weeks' solourn
North. where they carefully selected
the present stock, buying in all cases
quantities at crock bottom prices,
not stinting themselves either In assort-
ment, style, or quantity.
II is by far the largest and most COM
plete line ever brought into the south
ern States indeed, we feel safe in as
serting that there are few sgndry de-
partments in the United States TO com.
mare with this one and none to excel
it-certainly none south Of New York.
Our citizens may all justly feel pride IN
this new and enterprising feature. As
cur merchants increase their facilities
they render our city more attractive
and larger market and draw customers
here Tor their wares. Messrs. Powers,
Taylor & Go. have set an example
worthy TO he followed.
We understand that these gentlemen
intend 10 enlarge the scope OF Rich
mond's trade in their line. Their nerve
snd enterprise deserve, and we doubt
not will receive, the hearty recognition
and support of the retail drug trade OF
the entire South. There is no reason
why Richmond, with her superior geo.
orayhical advantages. her great railroad
and water facilities, cheaper .freights,
etc, should not do the duK OF the
southern trade clear to Florida, instead
of its going 60 Baltimore, Philadelphia,
and New York, and dealing with peo-
ple. vino have little or no interest or
sympathy in the South's welfare outside
oi dollars and cents.
It is true that hcrctoorc the drug
trade were compelled TO so North for a
greet nany sundries not kept in Rich
| mond. but nOi0 Messrs. Powers, Taylor
& Co. are prepared TO furnish any drti-
Cd 20 be procured from ony city and,
Gs in the case of Drugs, Chemicals,
Patents, etc, guarantee to duplicate
any legitimate bill or price made
by Gny house--Ncw York or else
| where. From what We have this day
seen we are confident they can do 40.
Just to think, nearly one hundred diff
